### Business Partner Types
**As of release 8.11,** you can now assign **multiple** business partner types to a single business partner.\
This addition eliminates the need to create duplicate business partner for each different type.
Multiple business partner types selected
The **"Business Partner Types"** field allows you to select one or more types that a business partner can have (e.g., Charterer, Agent, etc.). This selection influences which business partner selectors the partner will appear in the system. For example, if you assign the type "Charterer" to a business partner, that partner will appear in Charterer fields, but not in Agent fields, unless "Agent" is also assigned as a type.
To view and select from all business partners, regardless of type, you can use the **"Show all options"** feature in the selector. This provides flexibility to choose any business partner if needed.

> If a business partner has multiple types assigned, they will only appear once in relevant selectors, ensuring there are no duplicate entries.
